Definitions
- the invention relates to a combination antenna for receiving terrestrial and satellite signals, as claimed in the precharacterizing clause of claim 1 .
- a satellite-based radio system which operates with only a small number of satellites in distributed orbits is used, in particular in the USA.
- the aim is to offer antennas for this satellite-based radio system which have to provide the same minimum gain even at low elevation angles from 25° up to an elevation of 90°.
- the combination antennas are also intended to be suitable for receiving terrestrial signals.
- the corresponding systems are also known in the specialist field by the expression SDARS services, which transmit in the 2.3 GHz band.
- the satellite signals are in this case transmitted with circular polarization.
- a special antenna system has thus become known on the USA market, which contains a cruciform dipole that is formed from a flat material and thus forms four quadrants which are separated from one another by the dipole walls. A separate, vertically extending monopole is then arranged in each quadrant, via which the terrestrially transmitted vertically polarized signals can be received.
- the overall complexity of the antenna is considerable since, in particular, appropriate feed networks are also required in order to feed the cruciform dipole and the four monopoles.
- EP 1 100 148 A1 also discloses a correspondingly circular polarized cross dipole antenna, which has two pairs of inverted V-shaped dipole antenna arrangements. These antenna dipole elements are curved like an inverted “V”.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved antenna system in particular for the SDARS services in the USA, which makes it possible to receive not only terrestrial, particularly vertically polarized, signals, but also to receive in particular circular polarized satellite signals, with the satellites not only being positioned in the elevation angle range around 90° but also, in some cases, also being positioned low above the horizon, at an elevation of around 25°.
- the object is achieved on the basis of the features specified in claim 1 .
- the combination antenna according to the invention on the one hand has a monopole for receiving terrestrial, in particular vertically polarized, signals.
- This monopole may be designed in various ways.
- the antenna according to the invention is in the form of a patch antenna, which is known per se.
- the antenna gain and axis ratio parameters become continuously worse in the direction of lower elevation angles.
- the combination antenna according to the invention including a patch antenna element, makes it possible to achieve optimum values with regard to the antenna gain on the one hand and the axis ratio on the other hand even at low elevation angles of 25°, with these parameter values being comparable to the values for the antenna gain and axis ratio as can be expected at an elevation of 90°!
- a monopole which extends in the form of a vertical rod is in this case used in addition to the patch antenna as an antenna element for receiving terrestrial signals, as is known per se from the prior art.
- an inverted F antenna for example composed of wire or the like, is also preferably used, and can be arranged on a substrate, for example on a printed circuit board.
- a printed circuit for example on a printed circuit board can just as well be used as a monopole, and can be arranged vertically on a substrate in the form of a further printed circuit board.
- a stripline conductor for the monopole can be formed on this additional vertically extending printed circuit board, which is provided for the monopole, and can also run in an S-shape or meandering shape in the form of a square-wave pulse in order to reduce the physical height.
- an antenna element having a cavity is used in whose top face, for example in the form of a metal plate, an annular slot is provided.
- the annular slot in this case acts as a monopole.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of an antenna according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the exemplary embodiment as shown in FIG. 1 of the antenna according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a plan view, comparable to that in FIG. 2 , relating to a slightly modified exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 4 shows a further modified exemplary embodiment relating to an inverted F antenna as a monopole
- FIG. 5 shows a stripline conductor monopole antenna for a further modified exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 6 shows another modified exemplary embodiment relating to a monopole
- FIG. 7 shows a plan view of a further modified exemplary embodiment of a combination antenna with an annular slot instead of a monopole antenna element
- FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional illustration relating to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 7 .
- FIG. 1 shows a combination antenna 5 for reception of SDARS services (which are normally transmitted in the 2.3 GHz band) in the USA, preferably in the form of a printed circuit board 1 ′ on a substrate 1 .
- SDARS services which are normally transmitted in the 2.3 GHz band
- the patch antenna 9 is preferably in the form of a ceramic patch antenna 9 ′. Since the mechanical size of the patch antenna 9 depends on the resonant frequency on the one hand and on the dielectric constant of the material to be used on the other hand, with a microwave ceramic normally being used [lacuna].
- the patch antenna is intended to be used to receive circular polarized electromagnetic waves in the 2.3 GHz band, and the physical mechanical size of the patch antenna in this case depends, as mentioned, on the resonant frequency, this results in a comparatively physically small patch antenna 9 and, surprisingly in this case, the capability of patch antenna 9 such as this to comply with the stringent requirements in accordance with the normal system specifications of the system operators, on the basis of which the antenna gain should be greater than 3 dBic in the elevation range between 25° and 90°.
- FIG. 2 shows the plan view of the antenna arrangement shown in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 3 shows only schematically that the patch antenna can also be arranged rotated through 45° with respect to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , so that the vertically extending monopole 7 (which, by way of example, is in the form of a rod in the illustrated exemplary embodiment) lies on a vertical central plane of symmetry 13 which runs diagonally through the patch antenna 9 .
- the vertically extending monopole 7 which, by way of example, is in the form of a rod in the illustrated exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 4 shows only a schematic side view, illustrating that an inverted F antenna 7 b can also be used instead of a rod monopole 7 , one limb 14 of which inverted F antenna 7 b is, connected to ground on the substrate 1 , 1 ′ while, in contrast, the monopole is fed with a high impedance via an offset feed line 15 .
- a monopole 7 c in the form of a stripline conductor can also be used instead of the monopole 7 a or 7 b , and is fitted to a substrate, for example to a further separate printed circuit board 19 .
- the stripline conductor 21 may in this case be arranged in a meandering shape or running in the form of a square-wave pulse on the substrate or on the printed circuit board 19 .
- the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 6 uses a monopole 7 d , in which the rod monopole is in the form of a coiled former 23 at the end remote from the printed circuit board 1 ′.
- a combination antenna which has a cavity 27 that is formed by a housing 29 which bounds the cavity 27 .
- the housing 29 can preferably be provided with a metallic surface.
- An annular slot 33 is incorporated in the appropriate housing wall 29 ′ on the top face 31 .
- the patch antenna 9 is in a position on the top face 31 , that is to say on the upper housing wall 29 ′, and is in this case fed in a known manner.
- the annular slot 33 runs around the patch antenna 9 in the upper housing wall 29 ′, and its polar diagram is comparable to that of a monopole.
- the physical height corresponds to ⁇ /4 of the operating mid-frequency.
- this physical height can effectively be reduced by filling the cavity 27 with a dielectric.
- Glass or ceramic may be used, for example, as a suitable dielectric, thus allowing the mechanical dimensions to be reduced considerably.
- glass for example, has a dielectric constant of around 9, this leads to the physical height being reduced by a factor of 3. If ceramic is used as the dielectric having, for example, a dielectric constant of 20 to 30, this leads to the physical height being reduced by a factor of 5.
- the present invention is also suitable in a highly surprising manner for reception of programs which are transmitted by satellites located at a comparatively low angle above the horizon.
- a patch antenna can achieve such a high antenna gain when the satellite signals are transmitted at an angle of less than 50°, in particular even less than 40° or even less than 30°, namely in particular even around 25°.
- patch antennas achieve their maximum antenna gain only when the signals are transmitted from the zenith, or are received in the zenith direction, that is to say aligned at right angles to the plane of the horizontal. All antenna systems which have become known in the past and were intended to be suitable for a comparable problem, in particular for receiving SDARS services, therefore invariably proposed solutions which were deliberately not based on patch antennas.
